       | I'm writing a book about Why We Play, and I've been a fan of your
       | blog (though only as a reader) for some time now. Number 3 on
       | your list speaks to me very deeply, especially now that I've been
       | working on this project daily for well over a year.
       | 
       | I intend to start publishing essays and excerpts soon - I'll be
       | sure to share them back to you if you're interested. Thank you
       | for your time and energy in the blog.

       | The first three lines of my draft, if you're curious: ;)
       | 
       |  _I 've played a game called RuneScape for 5000 hours and I don't
       | know why._
       | 
       |  _Was all that time wasted?_
       | 
       |  _Was any of the experience valuable?_
       | 
       | And for this not to seem like shameless self-promotion, I am
       | always interested in an individual's answer to this question.
       | Comprehensive or not, to anyone reading this: why do you play?

         | original title from the blog. If you follow the link and leave
         | a comment on the blog post, the Addict himself will see it and
         | probably respond.

           | assuming (and HN-ing during status meetings).
           | 
           | Cheers.
           | 
           | Why do you play the games you play? Is there more to it than
           | escape, relaxation, and coping?
